DREER'S SUPERB DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS 



While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varieties

 Murillo varieties, Imperator Rubrorum and Toumesol, are excel- 

 lent for forcing; all are very effective in beds or borders.

beautiful. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.25 per 100; $45.00 per 1000.

 much brighter than old rose. A rich looking coloring on broad
